Design Challenges

I needed to make a sample for a workshop I will be doing this fall. I gave away all the other quilts I made using the stick tree pattern.

I didn't really like the way it looked just putting the 4 blocks together. So I started making some flying geese to put in between them.

I made them free form, no ruler was used to make them. The points are cut off but it takes the pressure off of trying to match them and it goes with the rest of the quilt.
The colors feel like fall!

So far I like it! I will show you the rest of it next week.

I have 80 bow tie blocks to make for the swap.....better get going.

It's nice to be making a mess again.

Thanks for all the best wishes on the babies. They are doing great and went home on Monday. I am dropping dinner off today and can't wait to see them again.
I love the the look of promise and love in my son's eyes! (-:

It's great that you'll be teaching and sharing your gifts with others. The colors in the piece are wonderful! I'm happy for you to be enjoying your grandies. What a nice photo of your son and his son. Warms my heart.
